Audio: Premiere of Duran Duran’s ‘Being Followed,’ off ‘All You Need Is Now’

Producer Mark Ronson tonight gave Duran Duran fans their second taste of the band’s forthcoming All You Need Is Now, premiering the track “Being Followed” — part of it, anyway — on his East Village Radio show, just as he played a bit of “Blame the Machine” back in July. You can hear the first 90 seconds or so (repeated, in fact) in the clip above, with Ronson doing the obligatory voice-overs.

The track is slated to appear on the band’s long-in-the-works 13th studio album, which is expected out in early 2011, although an actual release date has yet to be announced. In the meantime, the band has announced a five-date tour of South Africa in December that will open the “enormous global campaign” surrounding the new album.

I’m on the fence. On one hand, at least they are playing their instruments. On the other hand, they seem to be just be trying to imitate the first album. We’ll see when the album comes out on 12/21 on Itunes.
